Due out September 1st via 100% Records, the LP takes its name from an 1891 painting by the Italian artist Giovani Segantini. With nearly every aspect of the recording process — writing, producing, and mixing — handled by OMD’s own Andy McClusky and Paul Humphreys, The Punishment of Luxury promises to combine the “wistful nostalgia” of the band’s past work while stepping into new territory.

“On this album we have managed to make beautiful things out of noises and repetitive patterns,” McClusky explained in a press release. “The trouble is, we just cant help but write a catchy melody!”

Lead single “La Mitrailleuse” (French for “The Machinegun”) certainly fits that description. The track is built on monastic intonations and the looping of gun and cannon fire, yet the minimalistic collage finds a way to be tuneful. The only lyrics are the haunting, “Bend your body to the will of the machine,” repeated over the steady hum of the chorus underneath.

The track comes via a Henning M. Lederer-directed video. The clip brings to animated life another painting, one by Christopher Nevinson, which gave the song its name. Take a look:

OMD have also announced tour dates in support of the release. There will be a handful of North American shows this summer, but most of the concerts are set for this fall and winter in Europe. Find the complete itinerary below.
